“Obviously when you break team rules there’s a certain amount of trust that has been broken, and that will be addressed with further discipline. That discipline will be handled within the team," Brown said.

McCoy and Hicks were suspended indefinitely and sent home Dec. 28, the day before the Longhorns played in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio against Oregon State, a game Texas won 31-27. A source told The Associated Press that the players missed curfew.

The two returned to Austin the same day San Antonio police said that two Longhorn players were the focus of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault. According to 247Sports.com, McCoy and Hicks were the players.

Police last week said McCoy and Hicks remained under investigation; earlier, Hicks’ attorney, Perry Minton, had said that neither player would be charged.

A woman told investigators that, after having multiple drinks, she invited the two men to her hotel room in San Antonio early on the 28th. One of the players had sex with her, she said, while the other watched. Police noticed bruises on the woman's her knee and biceps, according the police report obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.

Minton has said that his client “vehemently asserts that all conduct that occurred during the evening of the incident was consensual by everyone involved. The allegation, if any, that a sexual assault occurred by anyone at any time is completely false.”

McCoy, the younger brother of former Texas standout and current NFL quarterback Colt McCoy, shared quarterback duties at times this past season with David Ash. The junior passed for 722 yards and six touchdowns in 2012.

Hicks, also a junior, started three games before a hip injury caused him to sit out the next eight contests.
